Fabulous for paper goods, leather bound notebooks and diarys, too-cute invitations and thankyou cards, photo albums and pens, Pepe's has always been a favourite of mine. I just can't go past these delicious patterns and colours...

For me it is paper eye candy. So what do do with my 8 pieces of poster size wrap?

...hang it on the wall wrapped around canvasses? Cover my new 'nude' moleskines (notebooks)? Vamp up some plain jane storage boxes? hmmm I shall wait for the perfect inspiration!

Since launching the first range of Bison stoneware and ceramics in his Pialligo workshop many years ago, former archeaologist Brian Tunk's beautiful creations have become popular around the globe. Influenced by the first pottery made by man, the forms are pure and simple, decoration is minimal and colours are very now.

"Zesty colour and fun pattern rule my Interior. With the walls mainly a simple white and the floor in natural timber, the colourful art and furnishings really add fun and playfulness. My style could be described as whimsical mod style."

"Designing around children can be challenging, but rather than accepting the 'standard' pastels or primary colours, why not credit them with good taste and work with slightly more sophisticated-but-fun colours?"
